Last night launched the inaugural meeting of the A-List Literates at Eddie’s Attic! We had a great time – beers and books were had by all. Next month, we will be celebrating the Ides of March with a Shakespeare tribute via Christopher Moore’s Fool
Now, just because we started our own book club doesn’t mean that we will stop supporting these wonderful community book clubs. I hit a couple myself every month and have met countless interesting literary aficionados. Not a literary aficionado? Just tipping a toe in the water? No worries, these people will open their arms and embrace you into the ranks of social reading. (For those of us who walk to the beat of “I Drink Alone” – please check out The Book Shopper’s Marta Book Club for individual readers.)
Here are some of our favorite picks for March:
Let the Great World Spin
The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Assassination Vacation
Groom Lake
Northanger Abbey
I saw A.J. Jacobs speak about “The Year of Living Biblically.” It’s a great read and he’s a very sharp guy. I highly recommend checking it out – and the book club, too, as that’s a book that could really stimulate conversation.
